This month Learning Now tv turns its spotlight on female representation in the boardroom.

Women occupy just one in nine board-level positions at leading financial institutions. What can the learning and development sector do to address this? Learning Now tv turns to the Aspire Women’s Network to find out.  

Also on this month’s Learning Now tv: gamification in train-the-trainer programmes, reviews of two huge US conferences Masie Learning and DevLearn, engaging post-millennial students, differences in learning across the generations, video learning tools and more.

November’s Learning Now tv also gets a second broadcast slot: those who miss the regular 8 pm Thursday broadcast this week now get the chance to see the show the following day at 10 am. And as usual the show is available on catch up from the LNTV website three days later.
